Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files
From terrorist to statesman: Syria's saviour?
09 Dec 2025
One year on from the overthrow of the tyrannical Assad regime, Syrians have hope for their future and new President Ahmed al-Sharaa has become a favourite among world leaders. But Syrian success will depend on his ability to unify a fragmented nation and rescue its dire economy.Reflecting on her exclusive, extended interview with President al-Sharaa over the weekend, Christiane explains what has changed in Syria in the last twelve months, and which questions still need to be answered. Christiane and Jamie also discuss what the President has to say about his terrorist past, and explain why he's furious with Israel. Later, Christiane and Jamie discuss the new Trump National Security strategy, and ask why the President seems to see Russia as a closer ally than America's European partners. And as always, they wrap up with this week's recommendations!Contact us at: [email protected] more content, please follow us:Watch us: https://www.youtube.com/@AmanpourPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amanpourpodX: https://x.com/AmanpourPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Christiane-Amanpour-PresentsBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amanpourpod.bsky.social
